We are using a configuration file with two prospectors, one for syslogs, and one for application logs. We'd like to send the syslogs to a logstash instance which does some processing, but to send the application logs to kafka.

We've successfully set up these filebeat pipelines separately, but is there a way to configure input-based outputs like this??

Thanks!!

There is not unless you run multiple instances, or send to Logstash to do the "splitting".
